52 – Week 16 – Renew/Rejuvenate

All I think of when I hear the word “rejuvenate” is a spa.  An amazing, quiet, peaceful, secluded spa. Since I don’t have one of those in my backyard I just gotta fake it sometimes. Now go see Courtney Allison’s  -  CA, OR, WA Wedding Photographer – interpretation of RENEW.

Soothing, peaceful and beautiful. I love how the light from the candles illuminates the champagne bottle –especially in the second photograph. Cristal! Very nice…

These are beautiful! Very soothing and I love the soft, antique look of them. Perfectly conveys the sense of rejuvenation, something I could use right now since I’m currently on a school trip with 200 kids and their parents!

52 week 15 – Earth

This past weekend I challenged myself to the core.  I ran a 5k race fill with obstacles, mud, grit, water and fire.  There was no music, no chaos, just the sound of my breathing as I felt the earth beneath my feet.  To be in the forest, to swim through the lakes, to crawl through...

Love this Jessica! It just makes me feel like I am there! This PP is gorgeous too…it has almost a dreamy like feel to it like he is lost in the moment! It really is about capturing those memories that we don’t ever want to forget (like this one), right?

Jen - April 8, 2011 - 2:01 pm

Dreamy picture! The bluebonnets mark the season and perfectly envelop him. You are truly growing as photographer and person when those trappings of perfection fall away and let you create beautiful photographs like this! Love you poetic leads too!

Lori J. - April 8, 2011 - 3:29 pm

Gorgeous! I’m trying to think of what else I can say to convey how much I love this photo, but there really are no words! It’s just gorgeous!!

Katie - April 8, 2011 - 4:50 pm
